Globalisation and Modernity
Chapter 3  Further reading and webwork

Bauman, Z. (1998) Globalisation, Open University Press, Milton Keynes
This is a short but interesting account of globalisation.

Giddens, A. (1990) The Consequences of Modernity, Polity Press, Cambridge
The book provides a conceptual discussion of the relationship between globalisation and modernity.

Hirst, P. and Thompson, G. (1996) Globalisation in Question, Polity Press, Cambridge
The best aspect of this work is the exposition of global economic issues.

Walters, M. (1995) Globalization, Routledge, London
Probably the best general introduction to the topic.

The magazine New Internationalist is full of interesting material on the inequalities of the global system and should be both accessible and stimulating for students.
